What are your general comments?

It was an excellent experience overall. The interviewers did a great job by not making it stressful at all. I didnt have ANY ethical questions and I was ready for them. They'll tell you that what they need to know is on your file and they've all read them. Just tell them who you are b/c that's what they want to know.
